However, I've found that the bike and I can usually travel quicker outside the tram. There's always the option holding on if you get tired! hehe guitar lessons on skype perhaps? I'll start learning the drums and we can have our own skype band. I have gpsphotolinker. Haven't tried flicker yet. My photos seem to sit on my hard drive or go to facebook. Tax bills are never good news. The aussie tax man was good to me this year - the whole not working for 6 months thing paid off. hmmm bike on tram – sounds tempting.

Folded, it doesn't need a ticket to go on trams and trains, that alone is worth the extra dosh. Plus, it's light as a feather (well, not quite, but still), which is a not-entirely-unintended side effect. I have guitar tips from C, proper teaching is hard to do across the atlantic ;-) Yes, Google Earth is too clunky for phototagging. Although if you turn off all the layers except your photos, it's OK. I'm using something called GPSPhotoLinker to tag the photos, it previews the tag for you on a Google Maps map, and then I just upload them to Flickr which can display them on a Yahoo Maps map (yuck, ugly), and also export a .kml feed for you to put into Google Earth, Google Maps, etc... I'd like to use Panoramio but it just doesn't have all the features Flickr provides. And I'm still procrastinating the Swiss tax return. (Chances are I'll get a tax bill, not a tax return, too.)

Worth the extra $$ compared to a `normal' bike. I've decided my next bike purchase will be a tandem :) started using the gym? cool - I'm on day 4 of an attempt to get fit too! Get guitar lessons from C :) I got a sony GPS datalogger. Still not overly impressed with the whole tagging/displaying process. Google earth seems a bit of a clunky way to view photos. What are your thoughts? What are you using to tag/display photos? Two tax returns in one year - ouch. Is the folding bike any good? Worth the extra $$ compared to a `normal’ bike.
